Avalanche photo-detection for high data rate applications
Avalanche photo-detection is commonly used in applications which require single-photon sensitivity. We examine the limits of using avalanche photodiodes (APD) for characterizing photon statistics at high data rates. To identify the regime of linear APD operation, we employ a ps-pulsed diode laser with variable repetition rates between 0.5 MHz and 80 MHz. We modify the mean optical power of the ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional photo-mapping on CMOS single-photon avalanche diodes.
Two-dimensional (2-D) photo-count mapping on CMOS single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) has been demonstrated. Together with the varied incident wavelengths, the depth-dependent electric field distribution in active region has been investigated on two SPADs with different structures. Clear but different non-uniformity of photo-response have been observed for the two studied devices. With the h...
متن کاملThe Blocking Probability of Geiger-Mode Avalanche Photo-diodes
When a photon is detected by a Geiger-mode avalanche photo-diode (GMAPD), the detector is rendered inactive, or blocked, for a certain period of time. In this paper we derive the blocking probability for a GMAPD whose input is either an unmodulated, Bernoulli modulated or pulse-position-modulated (PPM) Poisson process. We demonstrate how the PPM and Bernoulli cases differ, illustrating that the...
متن کاملFailure modes of large surface avalanche photo diodes in high-energy physics environments
Large area avalanche photo diodes (APD), a new and very promising type of light detector, were tested at high gain on a beam line and suddenly failed. A detailed study of the failure modes showed that these devices, if used at low gain and with special care, may actually be used in high-energy physics environments and indicates the road of development toward radiation hard, large area APDs. No ...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
